Its like Kia going all in on supercars against Ferrari at a higher price point.01-09-16 12:54 PMLike 0 - Wow, good point. I check xda forums now and then. The Priv forum is like a ghost town. There is very little activity anywhere on the net concerning the Priv except here at CrackBerry.01-09-16 05:45 PMLike 0

- That was a brash statement. BlackBerry's current customers have helped keep the company alive and like their BB10 devices. Chen announcing no new BB10 devices this year has sent a shock wave of fear in this community. Users feel abandoned and feel there will never be another BB10 device released.That's causing people (me included) to jump to other companies because they don't like the fact that BlackBerry really doesn't care about them at all. I guess Chen probably planned it this way for a long time. Problem is, there will never be enough NEW android BlackBerry customers to keep BlackBerry in the handset business. Most people think BlackBerry is old school and won't buy their devices, Android or not.

I am convinced a flagship BB10 device would easily outsell the Priv. Without having the numbers I would wager the Passport outsold the Priv and will continue to do so. Combine a product that people actually want with strategic advertising and Blackberry should hit their numbers.lift likes this.01-10-16 07:22 AMLike 1 - The terrible gamble is trying to capture sales from an already over saturated market by emulating exactly what your competitors are doing at a higher price point and without advertising. Vs refining a unique product with a pre-existing following to provide what the customer actually wants.

No. BB10 is dead. They will not survive making those. They have lost 99% of their business in handsets. Near continual drop. Current customers aren't enough to survive. A risk? Sure. But they're out of options.01-10-16 11:33 AMLike 0 -

BB10 or its evolutionary counterpart is the only real future for Blackberry. Blackberry lost more sales with BBOS than with BB10. The loss is continued with Priv using android but now they look even more desperate and weak. People simply don't buy from a dying company. The only real turn around would be from stability or at least the illusion of stability. I understand that is what Chen is attempting to do with Priv but my prediction is that it is a bad move. Android people have no reason to try a Blandroid that is root locked and OS updates come from a 3rd party rather than direct from Google. Blackberry WILL playbook the Priv... either when they ditch the handset biz or when they switch back to their own OS.
They would be much better off to offer a high end all touch BB10 device with high res, good camera and fix the native apps. No need worry about 64 bit yet or hexa core CPUs.. just give the people what they asked for and don't make half a billion for launch. Just look how many Passports sold in the first week without US carrier support. I don't think Priv will hit Passport 1st week numbers for some time, if at all.lift likes this.01-11-16 06:45 AMLike 1 - Its funny how people always say "BB10 is dead" yet your only way of coming to that conclusion is because Blackberry is floundering badly. Explain to me a reasonable turn around strategy using android, especially considering current events.

- kbz1960Doesn't MatterWhile I voted I prefer BB10 it's skewed because I haven't used a Priv or Android which I think many others voting BB10 never have either.
I also commented that while I like BB10 it will not be my next phone due to lack of big developer support etc. Just because it's a great OS doesn't make the whole package great.01-11-16 07:44 AMLike 0 -

- kbz1960Doesn't MatterThere is a good reason for that. People that truly want privacy and security have been using BlackBerry OS7 and BB10 devices and feel confident using them. BlackBerry users know all about Google and android and prefer to stay away.

- So what's wrong with that? If people hate Google, why would they buy a product that runs a Google operating system and has Google crap plastered all over the device?01-11-16 09:56 PMLike 0
